  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour 2 - 9 inch pans. Sift together the flour, baking soda and salt. Set aside.

  2. Combine cocoa and boiling water in small bowl to form a smooth paste. Cool slightly.

  3. In a large bowl, cream together the shortening, sugar and vanilla until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time. Beat in the flour mixture alternately with the buttermilk, mixing just until incorporated. Blend in cocoa paste.

  4. Divide batter into 2 prepared 9 inch pans. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 to 40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in pans then turn out onto wire rack and cool completely.

Recipe Note

This recipe was on a Christmas ornament I received years ago. It's an excellent chocolate cake. Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.
